'Yellowjackets' captivates with its unique premise of a girls' high school football team stranded after a plane crash. The show oscillates between the traumatic 90s wilderness experience and the lives of survivors in their 40s. While the second season struggled with pacing and direction, recent episodes indicate a narrative reset, bringing back its anarchic spirit. The characters, still lost in the wild, harness newfound energy through unconventional rituals, alluding to themes of survival and psychological horror, showcasing a blend of fun and fear while emphasizing their complex journey.
The second season faltered slightly and seemed unsure what to do with its own success. It lurched forward, but the plot became circular, and began to eat its own tail.
It appears to have rediscovered that initial anarchic energy. It is funny and zingy, and occasionally scary, too.
In the wilderness, still miraculously alive and even more miraculously undiscovered, the group has made it to spring.
Following Lottie's lead, they create their own pagan-ish faith and rituals, to give thanks for their survival.
